Description of problem: running 'yum install java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin' gives me the following: --> Processing Dependency: java-1.7.0-icedtea = 1.7.0.0-0.16.b19.snapshot.fc8 for package: java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: java-1.7.0-icedtea = 1.7.0.0-0.16.b19.snapshot.fc8 is needed by package java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin I also had some problems relating to openoffice and icedtea, see bug#324641, where i couldn't update openoffice. When i tried that solution, with removing openoffice and icedtea and reinstalling it again, I could install all of them again, with the exception of the icedtea-plugin. And before and after this, running 'rpm -q --whatprovides libjawt.so' gives me no results, while according to caloanm it should give me: java-1.7.0-icedtea-1.7.0.0-0.16.b19.snapshot.fc8 libgcj-4.1.2-31 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@itse68482 ~]# rpm -qa | grep java | sort java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-14.fc7 java-1.7.0-icedtea-1.7.0.0-0.16.b19.snapshot.fc8 java_cup-0.10-0.k.6jpp.1 system-switch-java-1.1.2-1.fc8 tzdata-java-2007h-1.fc8
"yum install java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin" works for me on my x86 Rawhide Xen instance, as well as: rpm -ql java-1.7.0-icedtea|grep libjawt.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-icedtea-1.7.0.0/jre/lib/i386/libjawt.so $ rpm -q --whatprovides libjawt.so libgcj-4.1.2-31 java-1.7.0-icedtea-1.7.0.0-0.16.b19.snapshot.fc8 Inconsistencies/corruption in your rpm database may lead to the inconsistencies you're seeing (as caolanm suggested in the other bug report).
